ES326 Soil Genesis, Classification and Morphology
Katherine McCarville, Upper Iowa University
The course is a field-oriented exploration of soils, including classification based on the USDA Soil Taxonomy system.

Environmental Geochemistry
Carey Gazis, Central Washington University
This environmental geochemistry course examines two perspectives on geochemistry: a scientific discipline with its own basic unanswered questions and a set of tools for answering questions in other geologic ...

Geohydrology
Kenneth Carroll, New Mexico State University-Main Campus
Origin, occurrence, and movement of fluids in porous media and assessment of aquifer characteristics. This course aims to develop a thorough understanding of groundwater hydrogeology through the lecture and ...

Hydrogeology
Kallina Dunkle, Austin Peay State University
Hydrogeology will introduce the concepts related to the occurrence and movement of groundwater, as well as evaluation of groundwater resources. Major topics of the course include examination of governing equations, ...

Soil properties, morphology and formation
Lixin Jin, The University of Texas at El Paso
This course centers on the overlap of soil science and geology. Our goal is to explain the fundamental principles in soil sciences, introduce the concept of critical zone, where water, rock, biology, and atmosphere ...

Hydrogeology
Jean Moran, California State University-East Bay
This course covers physical and chemical hydrogeology. Practical, laboratory exercises are quantitative, requiring use of spreadsheet programs and carrying out calculations.

Fundamentals of Water Quality
Thomas Meixner, University of Arizona
Introduction to chemical processes affecting the behavior of major and minor chemical species in the aquatic environment. Physical, equilibrium, inorganic/organic, and analytical principles as applied to natural ...

Landscape Pedology
Stephanie Ewing, Montana State University
We explore approaches to evaluating soil development using concepts of soil age and residence time, and variation of soil properties with climate, geomorphic and hydrologic context, plant communities, and parent ...

Hydrology and Water Resources
Kaye Savage, Wofford College
This course is divided into three parts -- surface water, ground water, and regional studies. We meet jointly for the regional studies part with an economics class (Water: Law, Economics and Policy) and ...

Principles of Soil Science
Colin Robins, Claremont McKenna College
Soils are complex features that reflect both past and present environmental conditions. This course is an intensive survey of the properties, genesis, and spatial distribution of soils, emphasizing key applications ...
